If you had looked into the hospital wing the night James Potter and Lily Evans checked in, you would have seen two restless teenagers tossing and turning in their sleep, unable to sleep peacefully, for their minds were racing with thoughts of the other person, what was going to change in their lives from now on and why it happened to them.

"Lily? You awake?" James whispered into the eerily quiet hospital wing.

"No." Lily whispered back a smirk playing at her lips.

"Oh ok sorry." James replied, turning back over before realising his error a few moments later and said "Hey wait, how could you answer me if you were asleep?" He asked the quite room.

Lily just laughed quietly and asked "What's wrong Potter," deciding she wasn't sure about how to act around him and whether to use his first or last name, since it was the latter she had always used she decided it best to keep things safe.

"Why do you still call me Potter? I thought we were meant to be friends?" James asked his tone changing, his forehead crinkled and his heart deflating a little.

"Yeah I thought so to, but don't friends trust each other enough to let the other help them if they really need it?" Lily asked sitting up and facing James bed with an annoyed look on her face.

"Wait. What are you talking about? What's going on? I'm really confused." James asked, also sitting up to face Lily however he had a confused, scared look on his face looking at the girl who once threatened to read his diary to the entire school. 'How embarrassing would that have been?' James thought running his hand through his hair.

"Are you even listening to me?" Lily asked, infuriated at the fact that someone might have been ignoring her in one of her rants, especially if it was James Potter.

"Oh sorry what were you saying I blanked out?" James asked grinning as he got the reaction he had hoped for, Lily threw her hands in the air, screeched loudly and turned over in her bed pulling her duvet over her head all in about 3 seconds.

James realised quickly after this that if he didn't say anything to her she probably wouldn't talk to him for another 5 years, so this in mind he jumped out of bed, ran across to Lily's bed as the tiled floor was ice cold and sat down next to her bed. He started to poke at her side and watched as Lily jerked away each time mumbling a 'go away'. After a few times of poking her, James got up the courage to try and take the duvet away from her face, as he tugged gently he started to here whimpering coming from under the covers. "Lily are you ok?" He asked urgently, pulling more fiercely at the duvet covers until they fell away under his hands uncovering a sobbing Lily.

"Lily what's wrong? Did something happen? Is your hand hurting?" James asked worry nagging at his voice at the prospect that Lily might be hurt.

"No it's nothing like that." Lily answered, sitting back up in bed and wiping her eyes dry. She looked James straight in the face and said "It's my dog's anniversary." Lily said looking down at her bed sheets as her eyes started to well up again. When James remained silent Lily went on, saying "My dog died last year just before the Easter holidays, that's why I came in a few days late."

A look of understanding crossed over James' face as the truth dawned on him. "Oh Lily, I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" He asked as he enveloped her in a big bear hug.

At this Lily again broke down into tears. "Yeah it's......just I was so...so busy with every....thing else I com...completely forgot the date and....and because I'm not going home.....for Easter I won't get to...visit his grave. I know it's kind of.....weird but we were so...so close to Toby I just miss....him so much!" Lily said grasping at the words she was trying to get out.

James sat up on the bed still holding her tightly. Muttering 'shh it's ok' in her ear rocking her gently until she calmed down a bit. "Thank you." Lily muttered looking up at James for the first time since he came over. James just smiled back down at her until she said "Um... I think you should probably get back to bed. It's late." Lily started to move away from him to get back under her covers and James stood up off the bed, letting her snuggle down deeply into the bed.

"Yeah I guess so. I'll talk to you in the morning though yeah?" James asked cautiously. Lily just nodded as an answer and James walked back over to his bed, pulled the curtains around him and was asleep after 5 minutes.

"Moony wake up!! It's morning!" Sirius shouted across the dorm, throwing a pillow in the general direction of Remus Lupin's bed.

"It may be morning but it's not Christmas. Why are you awake so early?" Remus asked slowly climbing out of bed, rubbing sleep from his eyes.

"No it's not but morning means we can go visit Prongs and Lily in the hospital wing. Hurry up and get dressed!" Sirius said rushing around the dorm not really doing anything.

"Sirius, you do know there are opening hours to the hospital wing." Remus said watching for the reaction that was sure to come.

"WHAT??? Since when does Poppy have opening hours to our hospital wing?" Sirius screamed across at Remus, succeeding in waking Peter and making him tumble out of the bed, falling flat on his face on the floor mumbling "Wha...What's going on?"

Sirius' head drooped as he walked back to his four poster bed and fell back onto his messy duvet saying "Nothing go back to sleep."
